Given that he is asking about recurly, chargify, etc. I'm assuming its because he wants to do reoccurring billing, for which PayPal/Google Checkout are less than awesome solutions for.
- skennedy 17y agoI have not had any problems implementing/using PayPal recurring payments. What specific "less than awesome" functionality are you referring to and how are the other products better? Not challenging you, just looking for a more rounded picture.
- dacort 17y agoI found their documentation absolutely horrendous. Try googling for "recurring paypal" and you get a page that links to a (stated) 682K PDF published in 2006 that in actuality is only 2 pages and includes a link to yet another 300 page PDF.
- skennedy 17y agoDocumentation that overwhelms a new developer does not make a product less in functionality or quality. Googling code examples, explanations, and blogs of PayPal recurring payment code/functionality, I found a lot of very useful information during my own development. The functionality and product have been around a while and lots of people who want to help others adopt it.
